Environment Canada
officers raided a natural gas facility in Saint John on Thursday looking
for evidence that could help them investigate a major bird kill last
month.
Officers arrived at Canaport LNG just before 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Inside the facility’s security building, men in Environment Canada uniforms monitored people coming and going.
"Environment Canada wildlife officers are investigating a kill of
migratory birds that occurred early in September. Today the officers are
executing a search warrant trying to gather additional evidence as part
of that investigation," said Craig Smith, speaking for Environment
Canada.
